Tr. 01-10: Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA – October 19, 1969
Tr. 11-12: unknown place/date

Note: Tracks 01-10 are sourced from “Electric Factory 1969″. The recording is marred (or enhanced, depending on your perspective) somewhat by a technical malfunction; the sound of the guitar distorts whenever it is turned up on the PA and, at the very end of the recording, we can hear an English guy mutter “Fucking PA, bad up here”. The Who played two shows – at 4 pm and 8 pm. This portion is sourced from the late show. Tr. 11 and 12 were compiled from “Who is Tommy?” & “Live at Leeds Rejects”; the latter source has superior sound but misses the first 21 seconds of Tr. 12 plus the lengthy announcement by Pete.
